>-->From The RAK:
From today through the 15th, The RAK Foundation is
challenging every American to do something truly amazing:
Perform at least 1 random act of kindness every day this week.
This can be for a family member, a coworker, or even a stranger you
never see.
It doesn’t really matter what you do… the simplest acts of kindness can
make such a big difference.
Most people think you need to spend money to perform an act of
kindness…but there are plenty of things you can do besides pay for the
coffee of the person behind you…things like:
1. Send an anonymous compliment.
Disguise your handwriting and jot down a few kind words about a friend
or family member. You can mail them a card or leave them a post-it…it
doesn’t have to fancy, just genuine.
2. Talk to someone new.
If there’s someone in your office who you haven’t really spoken to
before, this week is the perfect excuse to change that. Extend a few
kind words to them, and try to get to know them a little bit — you
never know what a difference 1 kind word can make in someone’s day.
3. Let the person behind you check out before you.
Even if you only have one or two things. This may seem simple, but it
means leaving the store just a few minutes faster —which means you’re
giving them just a few minutes more to spend with their family and
friends.
4. Park farther than usual.
This may not seem like a random act of kindness…but if you park further
away than you usually do, you’re saving that premium spot for someone
else.
5. Smile at a stranger.
Mother Teresa once said “We shall never know all the good that a simple
smile can do”. You never know what kind of day someone is having — or
how much a smile from a stranger can brighten their day.
There are a lot of ‘holidays’ out there: Pie Day, National Peanut Butter
Day, International Square-dancing Month, National Karaoke week... you
can find something to celebrate every single day of the year.
These holidays are fun to celebrate and help pass the time…but that’s
really all they are.
But this week celebrates something I really believe in: Paying it forward.
It doesn’t take much to complete a random act of kindness…but it tends
to cause a ripple effect, touching not just the person you reached
out to, but everyone they come in contact with.
So by reaching out to just 1 person, that kindness will eventually
ripple out to 100 people…
That’s why as far as I’m concerned, we should be celebrating Random Acts
of Kindness Week all year.
I know we can’t always focus all of our attention on passing on
kindness to others... but if we all take the time to reach out every
once in a while, the world will be a much more beautiful place.
Stay Healthy, Stay Happy
Craig Cappetta

>SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY AND LOVE
by David Welch
The story of how I met, and then fell in love with my Valentine
might be what some people would say is an odd way of meeting, but in
our case it has worked for us.
God has a plan for all of us though, and we understand we are
together because God brought us together for a reason. I have never
questioned God for the health troubles I've had to deal with, and try
an live in the present. I look forward to the future, but never blame
God for what troubles I've had during my past.
My name is David Welch, and I've been a diabetic since I was four
years old. Since I was 23 I've had many health problems -- blindness,
loss of my kidneys, open heart surgery, and now I'm in a wheelchair.
The one thing I have enjoyed doing since my health has declined is
to use my computer with a screen reading program for the blind.
One evening, I downloaded a program I had heard about called
Freedom Chat, which was for blind people. Chat programs are something
I really never enjoyed, but I'm so glad this time I tried it out. I
didn't call anyone when I got online, but I received a private message
from a young lady asking who I was. We started chatting and we both
had health problems and felt comfortable with our conversation. Come
to find out she was legally blind in one eye and completely blind in
the other, along with being deaf in one ear. She had Lupus which had
created many of her health problems.
We chatted several times as the weeks went by, but neither of us
thought much more of it than just a friendly conversation. I found out
that she was from Thailand, but had become an American citizen nearly
twenty years earlier. Her name was Nualanong Pumyam, but wanted to be
called an American name, Nicole.
Nicole mentioned to me that she was in school still working on her
English, and computer skills using JAWS, the same screen reading
program that I was using, and I thought I could help her out with her
school work. We spent many evenings on the phone, with free long
distance service, working on the computer skills, and her English. I
had no problem helping her with her computer skills -- but hey, I
probably need a little help at times myself with English!
The one thing I kept telling her, was she should never trust
anyone that she chats with. I told her many times she should go out
and enjoy her life, but never agree to meet some guy that she was
talking with over the Internet. I wanted Nicole to understand that
meeting someone she had been chatting with over the computer could be
very dangerous!
As time went by the two of us started feeling much closer, and she
said she would love to see what Kentucky was like. We managed to
arrange for a plane ticket so she could visit Glasgow, Kentucky, where
I live.
Yes, we did exactly what I had been preaching for her to never do,
and brought her to my hometown.
With help from my brother driving me to the airport in Nashville,
we picked up Nicole. It didn't take her long to notice a big
difference between the people in San Jose, California, and the southern
hospitality of the people that she would meet here in Kentucky. She
said the people in Glasgow all seemed so friendly, and she fell in love
with the town.
The visit turned into a move to Glasgow, and she has never
returned to California since.
Actually, as I mentioned, Nicole fell in love with Glasgow, but we
fell in love with each other as well. We have been together now for
four years, and we have built a good life with one another, and on July
5, 2009, Nicole became my bride.
I may not have the ability to always provide her with material
things, like other men might give their girlfriend or wife, but we
certainly give each other loyalty, respect, happiness, and most
significantly... love!
-- David Welch

Two Valentines
(By list member Debbie Preuss)
>VALENTINE TO THE LORD
(By Debbie Preuss, February 3, 2002)
Lord, I love You, You are mine
You fill me with a love divine
In everything I say or do
Father, I want to glorify you
May Your love light shine through me
To lead others to eternity
Every breath I take is Yours
As Your love over me pours
My heart beats only for You
May I honor You in all I do
My spirit lifts it's voice in praise
I will worship You, all my days
Lord, I cannot understand
Where I'd be without Your hand
You lift me up when I fall
You answer me when I call
Lord, all I am I give to You
For You make my heart brand new
I am the branch, You are the vine
Lord, I want to be Your valentine
>DEAR CHILD, A VALENTINE FROM THE LORD
(By Debbie Preuss, February 10, 2002)
Child I love you, you know that now
As I reach down, to caress your brow
Trust Me now to work things out
Child, please come, don't My love doubt
I love you with My love divine
I know you are My valentine
So come to Me with everything
Let your doubts and fears take wing
Rejoice in Me, let your hair down
Someday, you will wear a crown
Lift your voice and sing with Me
Join all nature in the harmony
Come and worship, take a rest
Lay down your burden, be My guest
Let Me hold you for a while
How I love to see your smile
Know My child, that you are mine
I'm glad you are My valentine

>-->Love Stories for Valentine's Day
>A Valentine Surprise
By Faisal Fransu
Valentine Cupid worked at an Assyrian restaurant, although he
wasn't Assyrian himself. Nevertheless, he really enjoyed Assyrian
music, food, among other things. You see, Valentine was a student
of the Bible and ancient peoples. Therefore, researching the
Assyrian people fell into both categories for him.
On a particular afternoon, he was invited to lunch with the
family of the owner of the restaurant. As far as he knew, they
didn't have any children, because he had never heard them speak
of any.
When Valentine sat at the table, he observed that there were four
chairs, although only three people would be eating.
"Is there somebody else coming?" he asked the restaurant owner,
whose name was Mr. Odisho.
"Nope… Just the three of us. But why do you ask?"
"Well there are four chairs here," responded Valentine.
So Mr. Odisho's wife pointed at the empty chair and sighed.
"There would've been a fourth person, but…" and there she
stopped.
"Well you don't have to tell me if it's a private thing," quickly
remarked Valentine.
"We don't mind telling you," said Mr. Odisho. "Many years ago,
when we were still living in Iraq, my wife gave birth to a very
beautiful girl. The moment we saw her, she became the apple of
our eyes. But a few days later, our daughter was stolen by a
villain named Ahmed Ahmed. Never mind all the details. So when my
wife and I came to this country several years ago, I saw him
walking in the street. So I reported him to the police. He
admitted that he had stolen our daughter, but he didn't say where
she was. Now he's in jail."
"How old would she be right now?" Valentine asked when the
grieving father was done telling his story.
"Almost twenty," said Mr. Odisho.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" offered Valentine.

>Intertwined
By JK Vancouver, Canada
Her cell phone rang, shattering her train of thought as she drove home
from work. Glancing at it, sitting in a cup holder, she recognized her
mother's number. Sighing, she parked at the side of the road and picked
it up.
"Hi Mom," She cheerily greeted. However, all she could hear were sobs
and sniffles. "Mom?! What’s the matter?” She inquired, alarmed.
“Do you think you could fly over tonight? Your dad and I have something
to tell you.”
“Of course. Why?”
“It’s nothing serious but dad had a minor stroke this morning but he’s
perfectly fine now. He thinks it’s time we told you something
important.”
“Well, I might be able to catch a flight tonight but I’ll have to check
first. I’ll let you know as soon as I book one.“
“Thanks Ceci, I knew we could depend on you”, sighed Lily, relief
evident in her voice.
“No problemo mom, it’s my duty as your only daughter. I’ll call you
ASAP.”
“Take care, Ceci. Don’t worry too much, the doctor said that dad just
needs to rest up and take a break,” Lily said as she hung up the
hospital phone. She hated having to pester her daughter but Cecilia had
insisted that they tell her everything.
Finally relaxing, Cecilia ran her hands through her hair. Right after
she’d returned home, she’d checked for available flights and seats to
Vancouver. She’d managed to catch a flight at 11:30pm. Right after
booking the flight, she’d packed her duffle bag, taken a shower and
called her boss to let him know that she was taking the week off but
would continue to work from her laptop. She’d eaten dinner and caught a
bus to the airport.

>''Now the Carnival has Gone''
By Will Neill
United Kingdom
I remember the first time I ever set eyes on Gracie Adams; she was
sitting on her front porch holding on tight to a piece of white paper
in her right hand while drying her tears with the other. Her little
sparrow legs were sticking out from under her faded blue floral dress
and her flaming red hair was tossed and tangled. Maw had sent me on an
errand to the grocery store to get some sugar for her morning coffee
when I came across Gracie sobbing her heart out. I had a mind to keep
on walking but if I had I couldn’t think what the rest of my life would
have been like. Gracie and her Mother were new to our street that I did
know, simple thing being I had overheard my Aunt Cassie and my own Maw
gossiping about them one evening after supper. ‘’You been talking to
that lady up at 41?’’ my aunt asked her. She didn’t answer at first
seeing how she was too busy sucking on a newly rolled cigarette that
was refusing to stay lit. ‘’Mmmn, Mmmn’’ she nodded blowing out a smoke
ring towards the ceiling. ‘’Met her up at the store yesterday’’ Maw
stated ‘’ Got a little girl just about the same age as Joshua’’ she
said pointing in my direction; I believe the father is still overseas
fighting somewhere in France or Belgium she happened to say.

>Put Your Life Where Your Mouth Is
(Author Unknown)
Matthew 7:18-23
"A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good
fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown
into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. "Not
everyone who says to me, `Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Many will say to me on that day, `Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in
your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many
miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, `I never knew you. Away from
me, you evildoers!'"
Jesus says that a person's life may not line up with his lip. Just
because a person calls Jesus "Lord" does not mean that he lives his
life under Jesus' lordship. Really living for Jesus means actively
entrusting our lives to Him and living in obedience to Him-much more
than mere lip service.
In 1958, America's first commercial jet air service began with the
flight of a Boeing 707. One month later a passenger on a piston-engine,
propeller-driven DC-6 airliner found that he was sitting next to a
Boeing engineer. The traveler asked the engineer about the new jet
aircraft, and the engineer proudly told him all about the extensive
testing Boeing had carried out on the jet. He also recounted Boeing's
vast experience with engines, from the B-17 to the B-52. Asked if he
had yet flown on the 707 jet, the engineer replied, "I think I'll wait
until it's been in service awhile."
You see, the engineer talked about the greatness of the jet, but he
wasn't willing to risk his life by flying on it. He wasn't willing to
put his life where his mouth was.
Do you put your life where your mouth is, as far as your Christian walk
is concerned? Do you really live with Jesus as "Lord", or do you just
talk about Jesus being Lord? Think about it.
---
...Thanks LouiseA!
The old saying 'Action Speaks Louder than words' Still holds true!
You have to back up your talk with your walk!

>MARVELING AT THE SUPERABUNDANCE OF GRACE
Last year I visited Niagara Falls for the first time and was awed by
the sight and sound and overpowering sense of it all. Every minute,
about 200,000 tons of water plunge into the Niagara River gorge in a
thunderous ovation to the lavish, generous nature of God.
The Lord could have used a lot less water, but He didn't. He could have
made the falls lower, but He built them 12 stories high. And because
they are what they are from the creative hand of God, people come from
all over the world to see Niagara Falls.
What a picture of God's grace in Jesus Christ! "In Him we have
redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the
riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and
prudence" (Ephesians 1:7, 8). The Greek word translated "abound" means
"an exceeding measure, something above the ordinary." God's grace
toward us is not squeezed out from an eye-dropper or carefully rationed
like water during a drought. His grace is a Niagara of superabundance
so lavish that we marvel at its display.
Today, as you approach God to "find grace to help in time of need"
(Hebrews 4:16), remember how much there is -- grace beyond measure.

>NAMASTE
Has this ever happened to you?
The day after we moved to a small town in Colorado my wife Bev did
grocery shopping. We moved few food items with us so she filled four
grocery carts full. She asked if she could pay with an out of state
check. "We just moved here," she explained, "and don't have local
checks yet."
They said, "Yes, no problem." But when she began looking for her
checkbook, she discovered that she had left it at home.
All of the groceries had been checked and sacked. "I'm so sorry," she
said, "I thought I had it with me. If I could just leave the groceries
here for a few minutes, I'll run home and get the checkbook."
"Don't worry about it," the cashier told her. "Take the groceries
home. The next time you're in the store you can pay for them."
We had just moved from a large city and she couldn't believe what she
was hearing! This clerk had never seen her before. But she treated her
as if she were a VIP. She was somebody!
Don't you love it when you are treated like you are somebody? Because
the truth is, we are all somebody. We are all important. And maybe
most businesses cannot (and should not) let everybody pay with credit,
but even strangers can be treated with honor and respect.
"Namaste" is a polite Indian gesture of greeting or farewell. From
Hindi, the word literally means "bowing to you." Namaste has also
been used to mean "I honor the sacred that is within you." What a
remarkable thing it would be to actually honor the sacred that is
within each person we meet! Even strangers. Nobody would go unnoticed
and everybody would count.
Here is an exercise that may dramatically change your life: for one
month treat everybody you meet as if she or he is the most important
person in the world. The man sweeping the sidewalk, your spouse and
children, a teenager in the neighborhood, the elderly woman seated
across the aisle from you -- honor that which is sacred in all of
them.
Give your undivided attention. By your words and actions, communicate
to them all how important they are to you. Show them great respect and
kindness. You may be amazed at what happens to your relationships!
You may not single-handedly solve the problem of world peace -- but in
one small way at least, you will make a great difference.
Namaste.

>GENTLENESS AND HUGS
By: Joseph J. Mazzella
In my life I have experienced a lot of different types of hugs. I
have gotten the warm hug that goes on forever. I have gotten the bear
hug that squeezes the air right out of your lungs. I have gotten the
neck hug where the little child jumps in your arms and wraps lovingly
around your neck. I have gotten the back slapper hug where the hugger
gives you the bam, bam on the back. I have even gotten the leg hug
which toddlers all over the world use to melt your heart. The most
memorable hug I ever got, however, came when I was a teenager.
I was visiting a monastery in the Midwest with several other boys.
Our guide took us through the simple rooms where the Priests and Monks
lived, worked, and prayed. As we entered a small kitchen one of the
Brothers walked in. To say he was intimidating would have been an
understatement. He was a giant of a man. He stood well over six and a
half feet tall. He must have weighed over three hundred pounds as well.
He looked like a lineman for a professional football team dressed in a
brown, wool robe. As we talked, though, his kind spirit and delightful
sense of humor put us all at ease. That is until he rose to leave. Then
he walked right at me to give me a hug. At first I feared he might
crack a rib, but when he took me in his huge arms all I felt was the
love from his soul. It was the gentlest hug I ever got.
Leo Rosten said: "It is the weak who are cruel. Gentleness can
only be expected from the strong." I learned that lesson first hand in
the arms of one of the strongest but gentlest spirits I have ever met
in this world. He showed me with one hug that God is love and that our
real strength comes from loving each other as He loves us. He showed me
that our true power comes when we aren’t afraid to embrace our goodness
or express our joy. He showed me too that gentleness and hugs will
forever go together. May your life always be full of both.(

>LOVE LETTERS FROM GOD
by Lydia E. Harris
As the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice
over you. Isaiah 62:5
Read: Isaiah 62:1-5
On Valentine's Day I like to send and receive love notes with the
special people in my life. I'm always eager to tear open the envelopes
from family and friends and read the special sentiments. The cards may
be humorous, sweet, or even romantic if they are from my bridegroom of
40 years. Often I save messages in my "special cards" file to reread
later.
I treasure another volume of love letters written to me--the Bible.
God's Word overflows with messages to encourage, affirm, and guide me.
But I'm ashamed to admit, I don't always read it as eagerly as my
valentines. Although God's Word is penned with sacrificial love, at
times it remains unopened. Busyness, interruptions, and life's cares
may cause my disinterest and neglect. Just as love between a husband
and wife wanes if it isn't nurtured, love for my heavenly Bridegroom
grows cold if I don't cherish my time with Him.
Yet God's love for me never changes. In Isaiah 62, I learn He sees me
as a crown of beauty and a royal diadem in His hand (v. 3). And He
delights in me (v. 4). Not only that, He rejoices over me as a
bridegroom rejoices over his bride (v. 5). Ponder that thought: God
Almighty rejoices over you and me. Incredible! Author Joni Eareckson
Tada describes God's amazing love this way: "It's a jump- up-and-down,
throw-your-head-back, yell-out-loud 'Rejoice!' God is brimming with
heartfelt love for you. This is a God in love."
Dear God I'm thrilled by Your love. Give me a deep, consistent love
for You and Your Word. Day by day, may I fall more in love with You!
Questions: What causes you to neglect God's love letters to you? What
can you do to be consistent?
How has God shown His deep love for you? What can you do to fall more
in love with Him?
Perhaps one way is to reflect on the words of the hymn, "The Love of
God." by Frederick M. Lehman.
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above,
Would drain the ocean dry.
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and
complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've
gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard
something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember
a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors
are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."
This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column,
much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone
wrote this clincher:
"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked
some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire
menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this. They all
nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my
wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today.
Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be
spiritually dead today!"
When you are DOWN to nothing..... God is UP to something!
Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and
receives the impossible!
Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!
"When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, "Jesus, could you
get that for me?"

>Thoughts
Never make Promises when you are too Happy!!
It takes a long time to do a thing right than it does to explain why
you did it wrong.
Hurt me with the truth but never comfort with a lie. One lie can
trouble you with 100 lies ahead and at the end it is defeat and
you are exposed.
Prayer is an amazing exchange. You hand over your worries to Almighty
God and he hands over his blessings to you.
No matter how good is your intention, the World sees only presentation.
AND
No matter how good your presentation is, The almighty God sees only
intention.
Choice is yours!
Do not break a promise made as it is a short term gain and a long time
loss with only regrets.
Be at peace with your creator. For He is all you have after you leave
this life with all your deeds earned good, bad or worst the decision
is yours to implement during life exits!
Laughter is God's sunshine.
Everyone has beauty but not everyone sees it.
It's important for parents to live the same things they teach.
Take time to laugh, for it is the music of the soul.
Patience is the ability to idle your motor
when you feel like stripping your gears.
Love is strengthened by working through conflicts together.
We take for granted the things that
we should be giving thanks for.

>An Extended Little Hand Story Editor:
by Greg Bland Joyce Schowalter
Queensland, Australia
My daughter is a single mum bringing up two daughters, 6 and 3 years
old. She is on limited money, aware it only stretches so far, so she
economises, yet is aware her children need to be trained to be caring.
So for a treat, she decided on a trip to the movie theatre to see
"Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron".
She bundled the little one into the stroller and all three headed out
the two kilometres to the shopping mall where the movie theatre is. Of
course, when going to the movies lollies and drinks are the order of the
day, so she stopped at the store for that purchase.
Next, she gave the children balloons each. As they continued on
toward the movie theatre, the younger one was loudly singing the song,
"Yes, Jesus loves me." My daughter saw a fairly old grey-haired bloke
slowly shuffling along toward them.
The next thing she knew, the old bloke had turned and was making his
way straight to them. My daughter was a little concerned, so she
stopped. All the while her 3-year-old, Ellie, was still singing.
The old bloke shuffled up to them, bent down and addressed Ellie in a
kindly voice saying, "That's a pretty balloon you have there, may I have
it?" Ellie looked him straight in the eye and with an accepting smiling
voice replied "Yes", and handed the balloon to him.
A look of surprise and shock passed over the old bloke's face, as he
reached for the balloon offered in an extended little hand. He thanked
her gracefully and smiled broadly. Ellie's response surprised my
daughter greatly.
Three-year-old Ellie began to sing again but changed the lyrics
slightly, to "Yes, Jesus loves you." Still smiling, the old bloke handed
the balloon back, and said, "Thank you very much for sharing the balloon
with me but it is really yours to keep."
He looked at my daughter and said that it was unusual these days to
experience such a kind and polite child. She explained that she was
endeavoring to teach her children the value of sharing and respect of
elders.
With that, the old bloke turned and continued on his way and my
daughter started walking again. Ellie bent forward in the stroller and
looked back toward the old bloke as he shuffled away, calling out
loudly, "Bye, bye" a number of times and waving.
The old bloke stopped, partly turned and waved back. Tears were
rolling down his cheeks as he waved, and when he continued on his way he
seemed to stand taller and his shuffling seemed less pronounced.

>GIVING YOUR BEST
By Rick Ezell
"Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your
crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats
will brim over with new wine" (Proverbs 3:9-10 NIV).
In Biblical thought what was first was best: first of the harvest,
first of the flock, first of the children. When Abraham sacrificed
Isaac he was giving his best. Isaac represented all the best things,
the good things in Abraham's life. He represented his hopes, his
dreams, his love, his future, his security, his prestige, his power,
his life. Isaac was the most precious thing that he could have
offered God.
God doesn't want our leftovers; he wants what is best.
Many years ago my wife and I were called to pastor a small church
while I attended seminary for the second time. While I had served
on staff at various churches this was my first pastorate. As was
their tradition, they gave us, the new Pastor and his wife, a
"pounding," a throw back from the old days when church
members would bring a pound of flour, a pound of sugar, a pound
of sausage, and so on to help the pastor's family set up house.
When we arrived at the parsonage for our first night in our new
home, we opened the cupboards to discover the shelves were filled
with canned goods, the refrigerator was stocked to overflowing,
and several craft items were lying on the kitchen counter to
decorate the new home. We were very thankful and appreciative.
But as we began to place the craft items around the house we
noticed that some items had pieces missing and others were
broken. When we checked out some of the items in the refrigerator
they had already passed their expiration date. Then we started to go
through the canned goods in the cupboard. Some were so old that
rust was on the cans. While many of the church members donated
items that were of good quality others gave items that were
destined for the garage sale or the garbage can instead redirected to
our pounding. They gave leftovers. They gave less than their best.
We had two simultaneous emotions: one was of great joy for the
generosity of many of the people and the other was of great
sadness for getting unwanted discards.
I wonder if God often feels the same way. The fact is that many
people give their best to God. But, others give their leftovers. They
treat God and his church like a garage sale. If it is something they
have already used and worn out then they will give it to the church.
The fact is that most of our giving is done from our surplus, not as
a sacrifice. In other words, if we have any money left over after we
have paid the bills, had a good time, and set aside some for
ourselves, then we will give. Often times those gifts are nothing
more than pocket change, spare time, and burned-out talents.
Giving secondhand items to the church or Goodwill is better than
throwing them away. But giving something away because we don't
want it in the first place is not giving; it is selective disposal.
Sacrifice is giving what we had rather keep. It is parting with the
new and keeping the old. It is yielding the best and holding on to
what will make do. Sacrifice is proven not by the gift made, but by
what is left over after the gift has been made.
Copyright 2012, Rick Ezell.

...A note here...
II Corinthians 9:
6 -- But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also
sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
7 -- Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him
give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful
giver.

>BECOMING OUR OWN ROLE MODELS
There was a time where women stood together in a bond of
sisterhood, women supporting women.
As women embrace the fullness of who they are as individuals,
they may find themselves supporting other women, helping
others to reach the level of inner comfort and outer freedom that
they themselves have found. Among those who are less sure of
themselves and their place in the world, it may be more common
to criticize other women than to seek their help. But there are
things that a woman can only learn from another woman, as there
are things about being a man that can only be learned from other
men. We all recognize that we have much to learn from each other
regardless of gender, but sometimes we could use a supportive role
model that gives us a more precise example of what and who we
can become.
There was a time where women stood together in a bond of
sisterhood, women supporting women. It is only natural that the
pendulum swings out of balance for a while so that we may have
the experience of what we do not want. It is up to women to bring
the pendulum back into balance and bring back the sacred
sisterhood we yearn for at our core.
If we envision a world where women support each other and help
each other find their place in an ever-changing world, then we can
become the change we want to see. Jealousy, envy, criticism, and
judgment are refuges for the insecure. As we help others to become
self-assured, we create a world in which all people help each other,
regardless of gender. Only women can make the change in how
women are seen and understood, not just by other women but by
the world at large. The way we speak about each other to other
women and to the men in our lives informs everyone to treat us
with the respect that all women, and all people, deserve.

>HOW WILL I GET IN?
A man had a friend who was a highly decorated Air Force officer.
One day, the officer decided to give him a tour of the Air Force
base. As they were approaching the front gate, he wondered to
himself, “How will I get in? Will they ask me lots of questions
and make me wait while they do a background check?”
But just as they arrived at the gate, a burly sergeant waved them
through without hesitation.
“How did we get in so quickly?” the man asked the officer.
“This sticker,” he replied, pointing to a decal in the corner of the
car’s windshield. “It lets me and any of my guests onto the base.”
Because this man was with a decorated officer who had previous
clearance, he could get through the gate with no difficulty.
This is exactly how you and I can get into heaven! On our own,
we wouldn’t stand a chance trying to enter those gates. We don’t
deserve the right and could never earn it.
But when you trust Jesus your Saviour, you become identified
with Him. And if you are “in Christ Jesus,” you have free access
to God’s favour in this life and a sure hope of entering heaven’s
glory!
Pray that God would give you a new appreciation for your status
in Christ Jesus-- and that because of Him alone, you can enter
heaven’s joy!

>Where is Your Foundation?
(By Debbie Preuss, April 24, 2009)
Where is your foundation?
Is it safe and sure?
When the storms of life come,
Will yours still endure?
What are you building on?
Your life, your heart, your hope?
What is there in your life,
That will help you cope?
Have you built on shifting sand,
On the values of this earth?
Where is your foundation?
Where do you find your worth?
Have you built your life
On the Solid Rock of Christ?
Where you have peace with God,
Because He paid the price.
Is He your foundation,
The center of your heart?
When the storms of life come,
Do you know He'll never part?
No matter what the forces,
That come against your soul -
If Christ is your foundation,
He will keep you whole.
Long after your life is over,
Your foundation will remain;
A glorious testimony,
To the power of Jesus' name.
So when others look back at your life,
One thing will endure:
That on the Rock of Jesus Christ,
Your foundation was secure.
